Search "blend door", your heat should still be hot even if it's really only running at 160*. My diesel Ram runs around 165 to 170* and the heater will run you out.

Maintenance is always a good cure for problems.
Flush the radiator, inspect it for clogged passages and rot. Inspect the hoses. Replace both the radiator cap and the thermostat. Fill with 50/50 coolant mix and then test the coolant ratio.

You really should try to get that temperature up. Your XJ is designed to run in the 200-210 range. I'd flush the radiator AND heater core. Install a factory OEM 195 thermostat (recommend buying directly from Jeep) and see where you're at. And as mentioned, be sure to test the coolant-water strength with a coolant tester.
